Even though I have a (slightly pathetic) social life and a family, all of a sudden I'm starting to actually feel lonely. I've never felt close to anyone before but only recently am I starting to need some emotional support and there just noone I've ever been able to relate with. Even though I'm always surrounded by these people I can't stand to be around, the emotional isolation is getting unbearable. I guess this is why the aspie suicide rate is so high, isn't it?
Almost exactly how I feel apart from the bit about a social life - I don't exactly have what one could call a 'social life'.
